A Showman's Life Lyrics

A showmanís life,
Is a smokey bar,
And the fevered chase,
Of a tiny star,
Itís a hotel room,
And a lonely wife,
From what Iíve seen,
Of a showmanís life,

Nobody told me about this part,
They told me all about the pretty girls,
And the wine,
And the money,
And the good times,
Thereís no mention of,
All the wear and tear,
On an old honky tonkerís heart,
Well I might of known it,
But nobody told me about this part,

A boy will dream,
As children do,
Of a great white way,
Until the dream comes true,
And a phony smile,
In a colored light,
Is all there is,
To a showmanís life,
Nobody told me about this part,

Nobody told me about this part,
They told me all about the pretty girls,
And the wine,
And the money,
And the good times,
Thereís no mention of,
All the wear and tear,
On an old honky tonkerís heart,
Well I might of known it,
But nobody told me about this part,

But nobody told me about this part,

Nobody told me about this part,
They told me all about the pretty girls,
And the wine,
And the money,
And the good times,
Thereís no mention of,
All the wear and tear,
On an old honky tonkerís heart,
Well I might of known it,
But nobody told me about this part,
